Peripheral Arterial Therapies
What Are Our Peripheral Arterial Therapies?
The right peripheral arterial therapy will depend on your condition’s severity and your medical history. We carefully examine each patient’s case and provide full support and monitoring to increase your safety. The process begins with a diagnostic evaluation, which can include:
- Blood tests
- Ankle-brachial index
- Ultrasounds to measure blood flow
- Angiography
Based on the results and your medical history, we can build a treatment plan. We typically start with more conservative treatments and move to more complex care for severe cases. Peripheral arterial therapies we provide include:
- Lifestyle recommendations and monitoring
- Pharmaceutical treatments (medication)
- Surgical interventions
Who Needs Peripheral Arterial Therapies?
We provide these therapies for patients who have peripheral artery disease (PAD). This is a condition marked by decreased blood flow in the arteries leading to the legs and feet, typically due to narrowing or blockage. If you have any of the following, we recommend starting with a diagnostic evaluation with a specialist at the United Heart Institute. PAD can be signaled by a range of symptoms, but the most common include:
- Pain, cramping, or burning in the legs or feet that worsens during exertion and improves with rest
- Chronic coldness in your legs or feet
- Numbness, tingling, or heaviness in the legs or feet
